The Polar Regions

The Polar Regions

With their otherworldly scenery, astonishing wildlife and exhilarating activities, The Arctic and Antarctica the ultimate destinations for the intrepid traveller. From frozen plains and imposing ice caps to breathtaking fjords and untouched tundra, the remote landscapes of the North and South Poles are extreme, inhospitable and utterly awe-inspiring. With opposite seasons, there is always somewhere incredible to go. Whether you wish to follow in the footsteps of esteemed explorers such as Scott and Shackleton on an epic expeditionary cruise, observe polar bears in the wild or go dog-sledding through bleak but beautiful pine forests, we are here to help advise you and plan the journey of a lifetime.

The Arctic has so much to offer the intrepid traveller, so deciding on the ‘ultimate adventure’ is difficult. However, here we have suggested an amazing 12-day voyage for you in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard.

At cazenove+loyd we specialise in mind-expanding trips that linger in your mind long after you’ve returned home. Over the past 25 years, we’ve explored the hottest deserts, wildest rainforests and highest peaks in search of finding the best for our clients.

Today, any visitors to the continent will get a strong sense of the incredible conservation work that is going on and are sure to leave with a renewed appreciation of the extremely sensitive ecosystem.

The climate of the Arctic Circle is characterised by long, bone-chillingly cold winters and short, cool summers. There are areas to be explored all year round and every season has its appeal. We would be delighted to help you choose the best time to go.

If you are looking for an unforgettable family holiday, you should travel to Finnish Lapland. This secluded corner of the Arctic is an extraordinary winter wonderland, where you can visit Father Christmas, ogle at the Northern Lights or go on a husky safari, among other enchanting experiences.

Sarah describes her life-changing experience observing polar bears on a 15-day voyage from Longyearbyen, on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago, to Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital.
